Mirage is a clear blue Classics Mirage.

Rumored other set for tommorow is Alpha Trion (Vector Prime Repaint) and WeirdWolf (Cybertron Snarl Repaint) as well as Huffer (Cybertron Armorhide repaint) and Springer (Cybertron Defense Hot Shot Repaint)!

Awesome! Getter, where are you and how are you finding this stuff out? I'm here in Providence and have not been able to find out much of anything yet.

And if you know about Mirage, well what about the other figs?

Pic is up on the front page. I have to say...why? I don't understand the choice. We already got Mirage in Classics. It does look nice and it's free so I can't really complain I guess. I had hoped for something else though. Also Weirdwold is rumored? Again, why? Why not Elita 1 instead? I'm a touch disappointed with those choices. Oh well. the weekend will be fantastic regardless of those. Hope to meet more Seibertronians this year.

Well, as cool as that is, it's not a must-have like completing the seeker set. Still completely satisfied with my non-attendee Primus package! A neat piece, though.

Why couldn't Huffer, Springer, and Elita-1 have been Collector's Club exclusives instead of Botcon exclusives? Now they will be impossible to get.

Impossible? No. Expensive? Yes.

They will probably be over $100 a figure! I really like them and I would be willing to pay a good deal more than they would be in stores, but that is simply way too much.

Huffer's prolly a repaint of cyb Armorhide, Springer's prolly a slight repaint of en Bulkhead. Not familiar w/ Weirdwolf, does Seibertron have him in teh gallery?

I haven't even seen Weirdwolf yet and I already want him.

Every year it's the same. Cool exclusives, and I don't have single one in my collection.

Actually, the comic preview on the Collectors Club website shows that Springer is a repaint of Cyb
Hot Shot, and Weirdwolf is a repaint of Cyb Snarl. You are correct in assuming that Huffer is a Cyb Armorhide repaint.

Oh, and...

Springer = CD Hotshot
Elita-1 = Thunderblast
Huffer = Armorhide
Weirdwolf = Snarl (Cybetron one... the wolf... duh.)

I think the Weirdwolf is a repaint of Cybertron Snarl. That's what it looked like in the comic we saw, at least. I think Springer is supposed to be Cybertron Defense Hot Shot, but, again, I could be wrong on that.

ARG! Skowl, you're too fast.

Elita-1 might not be a figure as it is now a Target Exclusive:

Isn't there an Elita-1 figure in the TFCC comic that would be a repaint of Thunderblast, though?

Ah, but that's also a completely different mold than what's depicted for the comic. I would assume that figure is coming later as a club exclusive just like Airazor was.

We were told that one of the characters might not be one of the figures, and on the ack of our tickets it says "AW" and "HS" where they stamp out that you bought your set.
